Companies by tech stack

Why filter companies by technologies

You might be wondering why we have separate segments to profile companies’ digitisation level on the one hand, and their technologies on the other.

After all, they’re more or less the same thing, right?

Au contraire, mon ami.

While all non‑digitised companies tend to resemble one another, every digitised company is digitised in its own way.

Two different companies, both with strong digital presence, can have wildly different annual spend on software and cloud products: a few dozen euros for one, and hundreds of thousands for the other.

That’s because beyond a certain digitisation threshold, cloud spend stops correlating directly with a company’s digitisation level.

When to filter companies by technologies

Once you’ve defined that your ideal customer profile requires a certain level of digitisation, the next step is to consider whether the presence (or absence) of specific technologies in a company’s tech stack can signal a better fit.

Here are a couple of examples:

  • If you sell logistics services, you’ll want to contact companies running e‑commerce solutions such as Shopify, Magento or Prestashop.
  • If you sell web development services, you’ll want to find companies without a corporate website or with very outdated websites.
  • If you sell legal advisory services, you can look for companies whose cookie banner does not comply with current legislation.
  • And so on.

The possibilities are limitless!

Where the data comes from

Unlike other databases where we can rely on public sources, we build the technology database entirely ourselves.

To do this, we analyse companies’ corporate websites looking for code and tags that reveal the use of specific frontend technologies, such as a payment gateway or a content management system (CMS).

As for backend technologies — such as databases or virtualisation services — we infer them by studying the requirements companies list in their job ads, as well as the technical profiles and articles they share on social media.

Technologies we monitor

One important nuance

Like everything in life, the tech stack database has both strengths and limitations.

The good news is: there are no false positives. If we tell you a company is using a specific technology on its website, it’s because it is. Full stop.

However, false negatives can happen. That is, a company may be using a technology X and, for whatever reason, we are unable to find any trace of it online — and therefore we won’t report it in the company’s stack.

This occurs in isolated cases, but it’s important you understand this nuance when using this dataset.
